Yes. You can set any topic to "private," which prevents the participants from see what each other wrote for that topic. You can also set a group to be completely anonymous, which will assign a random username to each participant and no one (not even the moderator or observers) will be able to tell who the participants are.

I should add... Participants can also mark their individual replies as "private" if they aren't comfortable sharing something broadly with the focus group.

IMO I would add that (depending on dev time) I guess I should have asked if I was to participate could every action be anonymous.

Do you think this could be used in an academic setting like research studies?

Yes. In fact so far that's the biggest group of paying customers...
